NEW!! CITY OF PORT MOODY BEAR ESSENTIALS
Preventing conflict with bears is a community-wide responsibility. The best way to keep both people and bears safe is to manage attractants. Here are some tips to get you started.
If you see a bear in your neighbourhood or park, report it to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service at 1.877.952.7277. This maps the bear encounters, which is essential in education and enforcement efforts before an animal becomes dependent on human-supplied sources of food.

WATER MAIN FLUSHING IN GLENAYRE
Starting Monday, March 9, 2026 the City will be flushing water mains in the College Park and Glenayre neighbourhoods. This will take approximately six weeks to complete.
During this time you may notice some water discolouration, sediment, or changes in water pressure. Don’t worry – this is temporary! For discoloured water and sediment run an indoor cold water tap until the water is clear (it could take up to an hour).
This is regular maintenance of our water system that is done yearly: by connecting a high-pressure fire hydrant to the water main, the water velocity clears the pipes of debris and accumulated material.
These conditions should only happen for a short time and do not pose a health hazard. City staff will minimize any inconvenience. For more information, call Operations at 604.469.4574. Read more: CoPM WATER MAIN FLUSHING POSTED: Mar 6.26
